Aluminum Variable-Radius Mirrors
Enable faster process head motion in high-power infrared laser cutting and welding systems with these lightweight, aluminum, variable-radius mirrors (VRMs).
These aluminum VRMs weigh just 18% as much as comparable copper optics thus allowing a motion system to achieve much higher acceleration for speedier processing, Plus, they reduce bearing wear ad extend motion system lifetime.
Fabrication Capabilities
Specify the mirror you require for use with lasers operating at 1 μm at up to 20 kW of power.
